OK, thanks for that, Clear. I went through the process on the ATO - for those others complaining, it's a quick process to fill in their…

You're being ripped off, AliExpress only charges me 17.5% GST. ;-) I don't know how they get away with this.

The Samsung S10e is the closest in size and quality to the S7, if you're willing to buy 2nd hand. It is old, though, so you won't get…

Pashka on GL.inet Flint 2 (GL-MT6000) Wi-Fi 6 Router US$125.10 (~A$198) Delivered @ GL.inet

I bought an Asus RT-AX86U Pro 2 years ago, but if I was buying something now, I'd get the Flint 2, especially if I were running Wireguard.

Good deal, makes the comparable Asus RT-AX86U Pro look expensive at $135 more.

Sr1993e on UGREEN Vertical Ergonomic Mouse (White) $11.04 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ UGREEN via Amazon AU

I'm a righty, by use the mouse with my left hand, right hand is for the keyboard. Perixx makes decent cheap left handed vertical mice.

Should offset the 17% GST rate AliExpress has been charging Australians recently.

AliExpress 17.5% GST rate is starting to annoy me.

incipient on OnePlus Nord 4 5G (12GB/256GB) Smartphone (Obsidian Midnight) $453.33 Delivered @ Amazon UK via AU

Surely all this blacklisting of phones under the guise of the 3G shutdown must make it hard for tourists to use their phones here?

RedHab commented on Huawei Band 9 $64 Delivered @ Amazon AU (OOS) | + Delivery ($0 C&C/in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi
The Band 10 was released a month ago with a brighter screen and better health features, hence the discounts on the Band 9.

Larsson on [Used] WD Ultrastar HC550 16TB 3.5″ Enterprise SATA HDD $269 Delivered @ East Digital

The big factor is there is almost a duopoly in HDDs now, very little competition so no reason to compete on price or features.

Yeah, it gets complex. Often with cards you need to balance higher fixed fees or better exchange rates.

Linux should work just fine. These Hackintosh pretty well, too.

I don't know about this particular system - no idea what its boot options are. It also depends on the NAS OS. UnRAID is pretty flexible.…

Yes, this will likely be the first point of failure. Put the OS on one of the NVMe drives rather.

Yes, I agree. The speed of the storage (4x 2 GB/s for PCIe 3 x2) and that of the network interfaces (2 x 0.25GB/s) is rather mismatched.…
